Tue, 13 Nov 2012 17:02:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1516981#comment-2115280Nothing wrong with it, IMO. Guys on opposing teams do this type of stuff all the time. I saw it last night with KC. Think it was Charles who gave a Steeler’s player props who tackled him.

That said, anyone who thinks Urlacher is classy in general? LOL He’s a huge jerk.

“Considering how many positive comments we have here regarding Urlacher’s sportsmanship, I have to wonder if he found the one person in Chicago, who is not happy with him, and making a mountain out of a molehill.

I also like his sportsmanship, and with so many here agreeing, I am not sure who he is talking about.”

I don’t know a single Bears fan who had a problem with him shaking Manning’s hand, and not once did Brian say the words ‘Bears fans,’ he said ‘people on the street.’ Reporters spend a lot of time on the street, I bet he meant them.

Tue, 13 Nov 2012 05:47:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1516981#comment-2114654I say this as a Bears fan. It’s easy to say this is a classy move but I remember the days of Butkus and Singletary and they hated their opponent on game day with a passion. There would be no high fives or handshakes until the game was over.

Urlacher is free to do whatever he chooses but to say “I don’t care what fans think” doesn’t sit well with me.

That’s when you know these freaking tv timeouts are getting ridiculous.

Sportsmanship…..a lost art in the world of professional sports where ppl can make millions, feel entitled to everything, & some wont give a kid on the street the time of day.

This is very refreshing & should be promoted for the good of ALL games

How does he get that tiny little helmet on? It seems like it will split in half if he clenches his teeth.
Butkus, Singletary, Urlacher. Great history. Some admiration from a Texans’ fan.

I’d give half my paycheck to see what the national media reaction would be if Cutler shook hands with Arian Foster after he scored a TD after bowling over Urlacher and then told the fans to kiss his butt the next day. Oh the double standard!

I’m not even a Bears fan and I respect the heck out of Urlacher. The guy’s running around on 2 bad knees and playing his heart out every week and the last thing he wanted is Manning intercepting that ball. It was what it was……..a good play.

High five-ing guys that are making crucial game winning plays against your team, during the game: ultimate mindset of a champion.

It’s bad enough some fans seem to have concussions and think they actually play for what ever team they like. Saying things like we need to do this. Or I can’t believe they beat us. Lol it would be comical if it wasnt so sad. Unless your actually collecting a paycheck from the team no one on the team gives a rats ass what your opinion is.

You get to make millions playing the best game on earth. Crazy to suggest I know but picture this, Brian: respect your opponents AND your fans. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive bro.
